§ 901.03, Objection/Offer of Proof — Format (Q & A Encouraged but not Required)
State v. Richard Dodson, 219 Wis.2d 65, 580 N.W.2d 181 (1998), unpublished decision below
For Dodson: Michael J. Backes
Issue: Whether an offer of proof must be in question-and-answer form.
Holding:
¶15 The court in Milenkovich did not say, and we do not say now, that every offer of proof should be accompanied by a question and answer format. There are cases in which the evidentiary problem posed is easily resolved by statements of counsel.
